- Digging up Wartime and Nazi relics in the Berlin woods.
Last day of our trip in the Berlin area. Metal detectors were fired up and off we went.
We had a great day, finding much from the second world war era. German helmets, medals and more!

FAQ:
-Do you report things found to the authorities?
Yes, all nasty things found like UXO's and finds that could be important from an archaeology perspective are reported to the local authorities.
-Do you sell finds?
I am a collector myself so I hardly sell relics. But if I do then I'll post it on the social media pages or think about becoming a Patron, because I'll share finds with my Patrons (check out the Patreon website for details).
-How do you gain permission for metal detecting?
Check out local laws regarding metal detecting and get permission from the landowner. Or hook up with a local metal detecting club in the area you would like to detect and get your information from them. (I stopped responding to questions like this all together, I'm not google..)
-Can I come with you?
No.
-Will you marry me?
No, lets just be friends.
-I want to see more!
Go check out the social media pages, or consider becoming a Patron! Patrons have access to much more, special videos, behind the scenes footage and WW2 goodie boxes containing relics me and my friends found over the years.
-What metal detector do you use?
The Garrett Ace Apex with a bigger coil or the Garrett AT Max.
-Camera?
Go Pro 7, Go Pro 10 and a Sony handy cam
-Favourite find?
Deep Digger Dan's UA-cam channel. GET IN!
-What is on your bucket list?
Hitler's lost gold or the missing gold train everybody is searching for. But until then I am happy with whatever pops up, I even enjoy finding landmines... :-s

Lol I assumed TikTok was for kids until now
13:46 is called a carbid light, carbid is something like a rock, if you pour some water on it, it'll makes a flamable gas. The carbid was is that cannister what was locked up with the clambs. The small sidepipe was where the water could be pour in. The middle pipe came the gas out and what was ignited to give light.
The English spelling is Carbide and my father had a small carbide lamp on his bike as a lad. They also had them on motor bikes as well.
From 1972 to 1976 I was stationed at Field Station Berlin and went through the Gruenenwald twice a day. The forest was still under management with trees planted in rows like crops. Berlin was a great duty station.
Some nice finds. It makes me think however, when you find medals, medal bars, pieces of cloth and buttons, as well as an ID tag, you are probably looking at the remains of people that were in an explosion.
Love your videos Mike you are so passionate about what you do and that passes on to the viewers. May you have lots more great finds in the future.
Always a great video to watch, Mike. Love your enthusiasm on each find. Envious to be honest LoL. Keep up the awesome adventures. Looking forward to the next one👍
Thanks Russel! appreciate your kind words
Petsamo badge was a big surprise to me as a Finn. 😊👍
Saksmanni hakenut vähän Petsamon nikkeliä

Great to see and hear this in english language what you're doing finding all these relics gives some connections to the people that served in the great war
Hi mike great video and some great fines you got there nice to see you back my friend cant wait for the next one 👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks buddy! Appreciate you hanging around again!
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting no probs mike love the videos and the items you find have a great day my friend 😀👍👍🙏🏼✍
Great upload Mike!! Another great detecting adventure!!
thanks!
Very nice video m friend💪🏻 and some really great finds!
Thanks for sharing
Greetings AC
I was late in connecting but what I saw were excellent finds... A fully enjoyable hun Mike.
hi ted! no problem, hope you enjoyed the video anyway
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Certainly did Mike. I ALWATS ENJOY your videos.
20:31 Gave vonst. Bijzonder om überhaupt te vinden laat staan in zo'n mooie staat.
Fantastic finds guys, keep it coming. Do you ever wonder if there are soldiers buried underneath all the helmets and finds at all? X
Thank you Lisa. We do check for remains when we find helmets or gear. We have found remains recently, you can see that in my latest video
It looks like a gas tank for cooking with out in the fill. Thanks for showing us things like these
all good, thanks for your watching the video and your comment
I understand that these things are not that old, but am I correct in assuming that, given their location, one is apt to find something that is very old? Always enjoy these. Thanks.
There are all sorts of wooded locations on the outskirts of Berlin where hastily cobbled together collections of die hards fought right at the end. Given that they were days away from imminent defeat you can well imagine why awards such as the Freikorps cross and the gallantry medal for Russian volunteers were discarded, and why their owners were more than usually prepared to fight to the last. The Freikorps cross was not a National Socialist award but for right wing paramilitaries indicating the bloke was almost certainly a WW1 veteran who fought in the streets in the period of near civil war right after the First World War. It was not a recognised award in the Nazi period so the bloke wouldn't have worn it but carried it with him clearly proud of his involvement, but potentially not the sort of record you would want revealed going into enemy custody, assuming of course he survived and discarded it. But given the horrendous casualties such formations suffered who knows. The man had clearly had a lifetime of brutal warfare. Really poignant, significant, revealing and all too human finds that tell a story when combined with the location.
@@osric1730 Having been raised by WW2 Vets I much appreciate the life stories being told in these finds here. Mike does a good job. I enjoy his hobby or work. I hold a piece of history in my hands and I feel as if I knew the person who owned it. It is just that we Americans tend to forget that we are mere children n history when it comes to the rest of the World. My bizarre connecting wants to reach further back and here beyond stone tools of the true owners of this land there is precious little of it over here. Peace to you and yours.
@@ergot57 I grew up in a house with a WW1 vet so the freikorps medal resonated particularly with me. Where I live its possible if you keep your eyes open to find flint arrowheads or tools plowed up from time to time. Sometimes you find incomplete workings and I showed one to an archaeologist and he said "yeah that's what we call a 'sod it' ". He explained that often when flint knapping either through inexperience, error or a fault in the stone the process is abandoned before completion and the partially completely stone is discarded. Its fantastic to find evidence of a piece of ancient human frustration and to imagine the last person who touched this item was annoyed at having wasted his time and tossed it away in a "sod it" moment, only for the stone to redeem itself into a treasure 4000 years later to the next person to touch it. I think of that person and their moment of annoyance that traveled to me across the ages every time I look at it, and that I know pretty much what was going through the mind of the last person that touched it 4000 years ago. Amazing.
Dat item op 17:13 is een oude carbidlamp verschillende gevonden in Duitsland.
Translation: "That item at 17:13 is an old carbide lamp several found in Germany."
thanks! Interesting, didnt know that. :)
Mike the cross looks like a MALTESE Cross. The nights of Malta who were crusaders used them.
Nice work, congratulations. I wondered why there are so many medals and not other materials, cartridges, buckles, cutlery...ciao
In London we lurv Irons like Mike.
And Irons like Mike lurves Londeners!
as always, a great video & I always enjoy watching them--thanks for posting!😃🇺🇸
Always makes my day watching your videos bro. Hope the universe keeps smiling on you and your family
Thanks! and thanks for dropping in again. Much appreciated :-)
Very nice, very cool 😎👍
Cool finds!
lived in berlin in 1984 and I have seen tons of german ww2 stuff in pristine condition.. for cheap all over.. flea markets and basements
Don’t you wish you bought it all up in the 80’s? You would be very rich today.
I wished i would be able to visit these markets back in 1984.
But i would have ben to young at that time to travel all the way to Berlin at the age of 9.
Awesome finding, Thank you for Texas
all good, thanks for dropping in again Jeff
Awesome video Mike
thanks!
the thing you smashed and left isan carbide lamp. had severall my self. i live in northern norway ang go metall detecting my self.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Good luck detecting!
Guten Tag Mike!
Video ist super
Congrats on finding the Knights Cross. You certainly don't find many of those lying about.👍👍 Hope you enjoyed the 🍻🍻 and bratwurst. Good hunting.
Awesome stuff..that was an old fuel lamp
right! Another mystery solved. Thanks!
Oehhhh dat Randow kruis is echt fantastisch, proficat!
What can be found in Berlin?
I'm sure, a lot of cool relics I'm guessing,
but I really hope the cigarette lighter I lost last week in the Mohave is found.
Just kidding, I LOVE this channel!👍
lol thanks.
Lost a Zippo last year in Spandau. Good luck😊
Incredible finds, wow! Great job!
Thanks!
Definitely interesting stuff from spurs to false teeth to stahlhelms 😊 The latter definitely worth an oooooo 😂
Mike- 18:24 those are called spurs. looked like you also found the bit for the horse. 16:30 could have been a spare set of reins for a horse or mule.
Spurs! Will remember for next time. Thanks!
@IronMikeMetaldetecting Yes, I was searching through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed the briddle bit. The chain piece shown on the ground next to the stirrup appears to be a briddle bit. That chain piece is the part that is put in the horses mouth that the reins are attached to.
Witaj Mike.Czy szukaliście kiedyś na terenie Niemiec na wzgórzach Seelow?
Great finds you guys!!
One day we are gonna be like that 😢
Awesome finds!
So 😎 cool.
My favorite channel bro...
Iron Mike I was in the US Army in the Calvary, and I would love to have the spures you found if you're so Gracious.
I didn't bring them. If I ever find another pair I will bring them for you.
Great trip mike
Great finds!👍😃🇺🇸
Nice video Mike !😍
Puede ir a Berlín 1perdina Española a buscar reliquias de la Guerra Mundial y llevársela? Pregunto. Hay que tener permiso para eso ? Gracias
Merit medal with swords was the bar.
love your shows Mike and Jeff! Question: I am coming to Europe for 2 months to study the battlefields from the 2 world wars. I am also returning to the site where my uncle was KIA in Ensdolf, Germany. I would like to metal detect the spot of his death. Killed by an 88, Dec. 14,1944, 95th div. Under Patton. Buried at St Avolds American Cemetery. what are the general guidelines I need to follow? Permission, etc. Also, can I use just a metal detecting hand wand by itself. I need to pack lightly. Or is there a decent inexpensive metal detector that I can toss away or donate before flying home to US? Thank you again for your great shows. Jeff Wood
...& overall, ur vids are not just interesting, they're VERY entertaining to watch!😃🇺🇸
Missed you man !! Where have you been??
Amazing finds man, awesome😍
thanks! :)
Ekk, I love when you upload a new video!
thank you for dropping in again :)
Spur is the term you’re looking for that goes on a horse rider’s boots.
Great video mike those german helmets are so cool. I find alot of british military stuff due to the large training ground i have just down the road from me. Never helmets mind you but theres always time hey. I would love to come dig with you guys and find some nazi relics to add to my collection
Nordfontkreutz❤
Superfund! Jeff hat es mir gegeben. Was für ein Held :)
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Jeff ist ein Ehren-man.Gute Freude sind selten geworden..Glückwunsch Lg08
Verry good
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
Video baby 😂❤
thanks Mike!
The can could have bin for tea or for cooking
How close are you to Berlin ?
20:28 oooooooooooooo
.5m down for a helmet. Not sure that is labor worthy to me personally. In the East, in swamps they find things like rifles, grenades and tanks.
How do we get to see the finds once they’ve been cleaned?
I try to edit them into the video (like the badges) and most times cleaned up pictures are posted on my social media pages.
🔥🔥🔥
Pozdrawiam z Polski
Did you never got into trouble with the local authorities?
No we never have
Blue max???
Petsamo- Rovaniemi medallion got me laughing: Rovaniemi was burned by Germans. Here in my hometown is remains of "feldbahn" (Hyrynsalmi- Kuusamo) and POW- camps.
Why was the helmet buried so deep?
After the war they dug dump pits to throw all the war stuff in.
So the it is not the "natural depth" of a helmet, if it was laying on the sevice after the war.
More good stuff! Just a thought. Would it be possible to get DNA from those tooth brushes? Just imagine if you could.
You probably could. Not sure if DNA would survive all those years exposed to the elements
@IronMikeMetaldetecting Hi Mike, thanks for responding. I've googled dna survival. From what I read, given the right circumstances, dna can last 1000's of years. 100,000's in some cases. I suppose it would depend on how soon after use it was buried. If I were lucky enough to be you or others, I'd take a gamble and put out a request for a dna specialist to offer their services. I, for one, if such a person, would jump at the opportunity. Even if just to really find out either way. Best regards.
Dentures don't look like they've changed much.
Hey Mike, when you find the tags do you report them? Is there a relics/military department that you would contact in case the person was MIA?
The german tags are almost imposimble to identify. When you find actual human remains you should definitly report it. Just the tag itself they cant do to much with it.
what Gerben says. Just the dogtag by itself is something the German authorities don't care about. If there are remains then it is important to report together with the found dogtag.
carbid lamp
Grünewald?
Nee dat is andere vegetatie, dit is een pure naaldenbos
A pair of spurs.
Ta kapsuła to Lampa karbidowa .
Dzięki!
Spurs!
You found SPURS. Put on boots to push the horse on.
spurs! Allright, I'll remember that for next time.
Is this actually Berlin or Brandenburg?
I think Brandenburg,dont believe its Grunewald or something like that
Was that airplane noise in the backround at the start?
He Mike is dit in de buurt van tropical.
Tropical wat?
Tropical Islands. Oude zeppelin bassis.
Bij krausnick.
👍
Good Jobs.
thanks!
Maybe a foreign volunteer position?
I have heard from a local digger friend that the infantry unit dug in there was relocated from the Northern Front (Norway/Northern Russia) to the Oder front weeks before Berlin fell. That explains the petsamo badge and some of the Norwegian coins we found there
Wie kommen die Helme 2 Meter unter die Erde? Bombentrichter?
Ja oder schutzengraben
Umgebung ?
Spurs
may i borrow your metal detector??? because in my country phillipines is a lot of hidden Yamasita treasure give aways..small and big deposit...👍
They are called spurs.
thanks you. I'll keep that in mind :)
👏👏👏👏
Pour Le Merit😮
Nope
There are things coming from my hole 🤔
Not the sort of phrase you want to hear coming from a bunch of guys in the woods.
lol
the soil there is not kind to metal
Yo mike.
hya!
😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hay que ver que pasa cuando se venga la gente que se llamaba nazis 😢😢😢
Se trata de arqueología de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Este es un tema completamente diferente.
Seems like all the finds are from Ost battalions…….who picked the wrong side 😂
I guess so yes. lol yes they did pick the wrong side. However, the Red army wasn't a jolly place to be as well
sei un mito
The fact that we're only 2 or 3 generations from ww2 and you don't know what spurs are is sad
Sicher nicht in Berlin! Fake
The things on your ankles - spurs.
